.read_raw()/.write_raw() could be called asynchronously from user space or other in kernel drivers. Without locking on st->lock these could be called asynchronously while there is a conversion in progress. Read will be harmless but changing registers while conversion is in progress may lead to inconsistent results. Thus, to avoid this lock st->lock.
